Catching Fluke and Porgies in the Sound then mugged by a party boat in the fog

Late May means it's time to start transitioning from fishing the Northshore bays to fishing the Long Island Sound (Western region). Very foggy conditions contributed to a less than ideal encounter with the Super Current party boat out of Island City, NY. This is the second time a party boat has anchored on top of me but this time it just felt way more brazen. Oh well, not much I could do, just thankful I didn't get hit, and I tried not to let it ruin a somewhat productive spring morning of fishing for fluke (summer flounder) and porgies.
